Automatic neutral mode (diesel models only)To improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, the transmission automatically selects neutral from a drive gear if the vehicle is stationary and the brake is applied. The drive gear will automatically reselect when the brake is released.

I've not noticed this behaviour, so I put it into neutral myself. How about you other diesel auto users?

So if I read this correctly, if you stop in drive and apply the foot brake the gearbox automatically goes into neutral, (without the selector illumination showing this}. So if you stop and apply the foot brake the engine revs should increase if you press the accelerator, and the car should remain at a stop.
